mytai01 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I have had this happen to me two times now and would like an explanation. I flew a long high altitude flight from Minvody to Batumi at over 30,000 feet. when I descended to land my pilot kept blacking out. It wasn't like g-lock. It was different. Things got blurry first and I a tone in my ears then it went dark a few times before I crashed. Explain this please...

mytai01 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Doesn't that happen when you go from high pressure to lower pressure?

Sporg Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Maybe you ran out of oxygen? And it just coincided with your descent for landing?

agentdarnell Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 It happens from air bubbles in the blood. When we do halo jumps in the military we have to be careful to be on 100 percent oxygen for long enough or we have these symptoms as we descend. If it were hypoxia you would blackout due to lack of oxygen. Basically the difference in pressure causes nitrogen bubbles formed in the blood from flying high to cause you to blackout when you come to lower elevation. At least that's what it sounds like. Not sure if it is modeled in the game or not. Doesn't matter if the nitrogen is formed from higher pressure under the ocean or lower pressure from higher elevation, its the same thing pretty much. http://goflightmedicine.com/decompression-illness/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Mkae sure you have you're oxygen valve open before take-off. It used to be automatically on by default but that was changed and you now have to actually turn it on. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.
mytai01 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 I've already thrown the B.S. Flag on this issue. Now it's up to the developers to explain the effect!

agentdarnell Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Why would it be bs? You don't have a g suit, old aircraft, bad oxygen supply. Don't you think it is possible? If it were hypoxia you would pass out at altitude. It matches the real life symptoms I have experienced so it is my first thought and would love to hear what the developers say. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kayos Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Found this in the manual. 8. Pilot loss of consciousness at altitudes above 10000 m if cockpit is not pressurized. Hypoxia due to low ambient air pressure despite oxygen flow directly to the pilot. Cockpit must be pressurized during high altitude operations. 9. Worsening pilot condition at altitudes above 8000 m if oxygen is not supplied. Hypoxia due to low oxygen content in the pilot's air supply. Oxygen must be supplied via the corresponding valve in the cockpit during high altitude operations. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
